Yamadera (Hojuzan Risshakuji) is a thousand-year-old temple founded in 860 AD. It is famous for its 1,015 stone steps. The climbing process is considered a spiritual path to purify the soul. The temple preserves the national important cultural property Konkonchudo, the Fumodo Dharma Lamp, and the golden statue of Amida Tathagata. The five main halls on the top of the mountain overlook the beautiful mountains. This is also the place where the haiku master Matsuo Basho left his famous quotes, full of history and Zen.

Roadside Station Tendo Onsen is one of the birthplaces of shogi culture. You can watch a demonstration of the hand-made production of traditional shogi pieces and gain a deeper understanding of this Japanese art that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

The dessert workshop "Tento La France Factory" with Tendo's specialty French pear as the theme allows you to taste the sweetness of Yamagata. The free foot bath "Koma no Yu" in the square adds a leisurely relaxation to the journey.

Ginzan Onsen Street retains the retro style of Japan's Taisho period. Romantic wooden hotels are lined up along the banks of the Ginzan River, making it seem like you've stepped into the dreamy scene of the anime "Spirited Away". This is not only a health resort in the Edo period, but is also considered the inspiration for the swordsmith village in "Demon Slayer". There are foot baths, souvenir shops and snack stalls on the street. You can enjoy local delicacies such as curry bread and standing tofu while walking, and experience the authentic style of a hot spring town.
